Great way to store all those passwords

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I do not use it for business, but I do use it for personal use on my Android phone. It is very helpful to keep track of my passwords and to keep them organized. I do actually keep a folder for work purposes so in a way I use it for business as well.

Pros

  • password storage and organization
  • backup feature
  • Master password
  • supports passphrases

Cons

  • fingerprint implementation sometimes faulty
  • needs quick add feature
  • auto-fill feature

Likelihood to Recommend

I really like the ability to backup the KeePass database to Google cloud so I always have it available. It will also keep an offline copy for you as well. It keeps my online presence much more secure as it makes it easier to not reuse passwords or use simple ones.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use KeePass as a password vault that can only be used with a personal login in combination with a secure connection or office location. Important and crucial data is stored in KeePass. A clear folder structure is created for each client, where related data is stored, such as URLs, usernames and passwords, certificates, etc.

Wij gebruiken KeePass als een wachtwoordkluis die alleen gebruikt kan worden met een persoonlijke login in combinatie met een beveiligde verbinding of kantoorlocatie. In KeePass worden belangrijke en cruciale gegevens opgeslagen. Per klant wordt een duidelijke mappenstructuur aangemaakt, waar de aanverwante data worden opgeslagen zoals url's, gebruikersnaam met wachtwoord, certificaten etc.

KeePass ensures that this sensitive data is stored securely and is only accessible to colleagues with the appropriate permissions and through secure login. This ensures we can serve and support our customers effectively and securely.

Pros

  • Strong security in the application
  • Flexible to arrange according to your wishes
  • You have control over where the data is safely stored

Cons

  • The user-friendliness could be better. The interface looks outdated and is sometimes quite technical.
  • If you're on the road a lot, KeePass isn't very user-friendly on a smartphone or tablet. It's fine to use on a laptop, though.
  • Sharing passwords with colleagues who are temporarily unable to log into KeePass independently could be improved.

Likelihood to Recommend

KeePass is a perfect tool for use as a password manager and for storing similar sensitive data. This is especially true if you work from a fixed workstation, supporting your clients. KeePass is incredibly valuable. If you're often on the road and need to log in to KeePass occasionally to look up passwords or data, this can be inconvenient. And quickly and securely sharing data across other media isn't really an option with KeePass. Security is more important in this situation.

Fantastic Password Saver

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

KeePass has really helped us as a team to manage all credentials, making it easily accessible to anyone mapped to the current database. It aids in organizing credentials efficiently and it is highly effective for team collaboration, such that it allows multiple users to contribute simultaneously without overwriting each other's input.

Pros

  • Keeping login credentials
  • Real time update
  • Allows team collaboration

Cons

  • KeePass should moved from offline to online password manager
  • KeePass should enable integration to login with other email providers like google
  • KeePass should enable 2FA at login which can be an optional features

Likelihood to Recommend

KeePass is awesome in terms of record keeping which is specifically built for. trying to keep multiple credentials for my cloud servers has not been any easier until i started using KeePass which made life more easier for me. There is never a better option to this, and its absolutely the best.

Reliable and time saving software

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have a large set of different tools which come with different credentials in our company as single sign on is only slowly being distributed amongst all our systems. Also we have some shared secrets like tokens for M2M accounts or systems like vault which we use on our local development systems. To be able to manage so many credentials, we use KeePass. I have a local KeePass file for my personal credentials and also a shared one for shared secrets.

Pros

  • Overview over my credentials
  • Management of my credentials
  • Input of username and password
  • Shortcuts

Cons

  • Shortcut for only putting in the password, without username
  • Using two KeePass documents at once

Likelihood to Recommend

The pasting of username and password works really well with just one shortcut. Also the overview over all credentials and the details you can provide are pretty helpful. I like that there are shortcuts for different scenarios and that they are chosen intuitively. It’s also easy to install and e.g. share KeePass documents with others if you use shared secrets like tokens for systems or machine accounts.

Keepass - Great Overall Password Manager

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using KeePass for sharing password for various shared systems, important notes, login data, product keys, etc. and storing them locally. This solves issues of having these thing stored individually on different users and of course having it much more securely stored. This also eliminates unnecessary password resets since everything is neatly stored in one place.

Pros

  • It is very secure
  • Great password generator
  • Easy to organize

Cons

  • Visual upgrade
  • Adding "simple" option with hidden advanced features

Likelihood to Recommend

It's particularly great for storing shared login data for more users or very secure storage of single-user data. It also has an internet browser extension for integration into the browser, but it requires some additional setup, unlike other password managers that are installed in a couple of clicks and are immediately ready to use.

KeePass is great for password storage

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use KeePass to store passwords to servers, services, bank card details, etc.

We also use KeePass to store passwords to our client's servers/services.

KeePass is used on two levels:

1) Personal accesses, that should not be shared with other people. For this case, we use private file with private master password.

2) Passwords/usernames to shared accounts that should be shared inside company. For this case, we use shared file that encrypted using password+keyfile, and that is shared automatically via google diive.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Password's storage with hierarchy
  • Price to benefits ratio

Cons

  • Time-based one-time passwords would be nice addition
  • Automatic timeout for inactive - database should lock automatically
  • Automatic updates - would be nice that keepass could update on background.

Likelihood to Recommend

- KeePass is well suited for personal passwords storage

- KeePass is well suited for storing shared passwords for small company (up to 10-20 people) where passwords are stored equally between all users who has master password

Keepass is not very good for large company, if you need to specify detailed access to each password or if you need to know who had access to each password

Stock your passwords and info with your workgroup. Never forget them all!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Well KeePass is used for maintaining passwords stored securely in one place. We use it for keeping in mind password used sometimes, for example for partners internet sites or account that needs an authentication "not for all". We share the login in the app password in the technical department, In a business phone hidden in the office, only a few people know it and we sync 2 or 3 times a year the application on a tech laptop. With this method, all the technicians can have all the passwords needed to work also when the colleague is out.

Pros

  • Remember passwords
  • Keep encrypted some informations
  • Sync in all the devices

Cons

  • The interface is not very appealing
  • It will be useful a web interface
  • The mobile app is not so easy to understand
  • Is not an application for all, I had to explain with accuracy to some customers

Likelihood to Recommend

KeePass is good in small businesses or in a specific department.

I think maybe is not the right choice for a big amount of information. If you have to share but protect quick info, like passwords or encrypted methods to do a job. Well, that's the best app I found in the app stores.

KeePass keeps me secure

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

<div>KeePass is one of those tools you need if you manage more than 1 account. I find it invaluable for managing and maintaining a variety of online accounts. All of my passwords are randomly generated and stored where I can easily access them anytime/anywhere.

</div><div>

</div><div>I have been using it for more than 8 years, on the recommendation of the CIO at a client company. I use it on all of my devices. [In my opinion], I am happy to buy a beer or two for the developer each year. I recommend it highly.</div>

Pros

  • generates unique passwords of any length
  • easy to use
  • works on all of my devices

Cons

  • android version could allow more suggested combinations for sites where users have access under multiple usernames
  • search by icon

Likelihood to Recommend

This is a great password vault, stored "locally" and synchronized across platforms.

Free to use and all Passwords with You and your device

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This is used throughout the whole company. If people are using many applications with different accounts and passwords, we recommended they use a password vault instead of using the same password or writing them down on paper.

Pros

  • Saving Passwords and Accounts
  • Generating Passwords
  • Alert User about expiring passwords

Cons

  • A short assistant for start would be useful
  • For good work, there are to much settings to do, before start
  • The Design is a bit outdated

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a small application. It can also be used on all Platforms. A really good function is to synchronize the password vault with your Smartphone. So You have your Accounts always with You.

It's also really useful if you need to create new passwords because you can define which characters are recommended.

What can be better is the Design. This is a bit outdated I think

There are also so many settings to start. A short Assistant with the most important settings would be very useful.

The Most Stable and Reliable Password Management

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

KeePass is being used as a secure password management database for all management staff across the organization.

It helps securely store user credentials without relying on the cloud and is heavily trusted for its many security features.

We like that everything is local and it has its own app on Windows and Android and isn't web-based.

Pros

  • Password Security
  • Optimized and Fast to Use
  • Ease of Password Entry

Cons

  • No User Based Management
  • No Online Sync Without Plug-Ins
  • Interface Can be Modernized

Likelihood to Recommend

It's suited for a company that required a great password management solution for upper-level management and very trusted users.

Might not be the best for high turnover employees and requires IT to set up, normal users may have trouble setting it up for the 1st time.

Only one database can be used across a group, if you need tiered access for different levels of logins, this might not be the best.
